8 Plot Threads To Continue In Captain Marvel 2

8. Recruiting The Avengers

Captain America’s debut movie was subtitled The First Avenger, and Iron Man 2 centred around recruiting Tony Stark, but neither of them were actually the first one on the team. Black Widow was already part of the team, infiltrating Stark’s staff to get a read on him, while Hawkeye is an agent supervising Mjolnir during the first Thor movie.

Both of those have a rich history in SHIELD, and are clearly deeply trusted by Nick Fury. Based on his discovery of a universe so much larger than he’d ever thought in Captain Marvel, he’s not just going to be sitting around waiting for the next superhero to turn up over two decades later.

Black Widow, Hawkeye and numerous others became part of Fury’s inner circle after Captain Marvel, and if the sequel keeps some links to Earth, this recruitment could be shown.

There’s talk of various spin offs and standalones for these characters anyway, plus we’ve already had extensive examination of Hydra’s insidiously invading SHIELD. However, a more ‘boots in the ground’ approach, showing one or both of the pair during their early missions could add a lot of depth to their backstories.
